Anyhoo, back to the Nenshi propaganda, it's interesting that he chooses Curitiba as a model city.

Curitiba is actually very "sprawly" (compare their metro density to ours), but they have a very extensive public transit system that allows for pretty decent travel all across the city. They actually don't have much of a central area. I wonder who paid for that infrastructure.

Also interesting is that Curitiba is mostly white, with poor (coloured) people getting such wonderful privileges like "low-income families living in shantytowns unreachable by truck bring their trash bags to neighbourhood centres, where they exchange them for bus tickets and food." This would solve Forest Lawn's problems!

I also find it strange that Nenshi thinks Toronto's a great city. The GTA is sprawl to the extreme.
